Subject: [PATCH 00/11] KVM: x86: Clean up kvm_<reg>_{read,write}() mess
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 16:56:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409235622.2052730-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Add proper, explicit "raw" versions of kvm_<reg>_{read,write}(), along
with "e" versions (for hardcoded 32-bit accesses), and convert the
existing kvm_<reg>_{read,write}() APIs into mode-aware variants.
This was prompted by commit 435741a4e766 ("KVM: SVM: Properly check RAX
on #GP intercept of SVM instructions"), where using kvm_rax_read() to
get EAX/RAX would have (*very* surprisingly) been wrong as it's actually
a "raw" variant that doesn't truncate accesses when the guest is in 32-bit
mode.
Aside from my dislike of inconsistent APIs, I really want to avoid carrying
code that's subtly relying on using kvm_register_read(...) when accessing a
hardcoded register.
Fix a handful of minor warts along the way.
